Ukraine were led by Oksana Kisilova and Taisiia Bovykina, both of whom scored 12 points.

The game was tied at 2-2 when Spain went on their first run, a 12-0 surge which never really stopped as Spain forced eight first quarter Ukraine turnovers and ran the fast break to perfection in buiding a 27-9 lead after one period.

Freixanet's basket made it a 20-point game before Ukraine cut it to 29-16 on Arina Lysyuk's three-pointer. The Iberians then starting bombing from outside as Berta Sinol and Carla Agullo hit from long range to open a 44-19 lead. Ukraine were able to trim the deficit to 48-28 at the break.

The outside barrage continued early in the second half with Noelia Oliva hitting two treys and Freixanet joining the fun as the Spanish bench celebrated a 30-point lead 58-28 less than two minutes into the third. And a Freixanet basket made it 69-52 before Spain led 71-42 going into the fourth.

Ukraine did not give up and eventually pulled to within 20 points at 77-57 on Kateryna Kovalova's lay-up with five minutes left. But the Spaniards would not let the Ukrainians get any closer.
